Man...the feel when one of your players as good as one shots a high level enemy like a solar. best angel i could find pre-epic. goes all the way through its nonlethal and into its lethal.
besides spending resources to animate it for 100 minutes at a time, then reanimating it, its pretty difficult to tote an object that large. even harder if you want to do it inconspicuously.
so i just spent the entire morning approximating the weight and cost of a huge sized metal statue for one of my characters in pathfinder to "do magical statue things" with. Only to realize after i was done that not only was i wrong, but the PFSRD had the price and weight for one anyway.
